Carlos Carvalhal talks up Sheffield Wednesday achievements

Darren Phelps

Carvalhal has made an impact since arriving at the Liberty Stadium just a few days after departing the Owls on Christmas Eve, with Swansea beating both Liverpool and Arsenal to drag themselves out of the Premier League relegation zone.

"It's important if it's the best result in the (club's) history, but the most important thing is the attitude of the players that made all the difference", Carvalhal said.

"Our challenge is to motivate the players when we play teams below us, because surprises appear when you are not completely focused and teams from another division take the game very serious".

Goalkeeper Adam Collin, who has returned to the first team after 3 months out due to an injury, said that the game is going to be tough but 'we are going to go there and back ourselves to get a result.' Collin stated that County have got to be resolute with their defending, and be clinical with their chances at the other end.

"We also finished the game with three boys from the academy and we never know if we will need them during the season".

"I do not have anything to prove, in fact the exact opposite".

Abraham had struggled with form and a bad patch in front of goal. Hopefully we can push on now'.

Despite fielding a much-changed side, partly because of injury to the likes of Leroy Fer and Wilfried Bony, Swansea settled any potential nerves with two goals in the space of as many first-half minutes.

"I don't think they deserved to be 8-1, but it is one of those games where their finishing was Premier League standard". We will protect the players that might be a risk in the Premier League because our main competition is the Premier League.
